Jaconé Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's talk surf. This stretch has some gems, but you gotta be ready to move when the window opens.

We start on Tuesday, September 8th at Jaconé. Morning brings a solid 5 ft south swell. The wind is out of the ENE at 9 mph, blowing offshore, making it clean. The combined energy sits at 829 (moderate wave energy). That's a good, solid wave for an intermediate surfer. The water feels about average for this time of year. Afternoon wind picks up but stays cross-offshore, still clean, though the swell eases a bit. Crowds are a possibility here, so don't be surprised if you have company.

Wednesday the 9th looks good again in the AM. Swell is up to 6 ft, but the period is short at 7 seconds, coming from the ENE. The offshore wind is a whisper at 3 mph, keeping it smooth. That short period will make it a bit junky, but you can still have fun. Afternoon turns to junk with rain and onshore wind, so wrap it up early.

Thursday the 10th is a classic. Swell drops to 4 ft, but the period stretches to 12 seconds – a proper groundswell. And the wind is glassy, both morning and afternoon. This is perfect for a longboard or a fish. The energy is moderate (440). It won't be big, but it will be ridiculously clean and fun.

Now, Friday the 11th is the day to circle. Morning shows a 4 ft south swell, a very long 14-second period, and a crisp offshore wind from the NNE at 9 mph. This is a standout. The combined energy jumps to 1011 (strong wave energy). For the experienced surfer, this is top-tier. The afternoon turns completely glassy with no wind and a 4 ft swell. If you can swing either session, do it.

Saturday the 12th is a total washout with onshore wind and rain.

Sunday the 13th is tricky. Morning shows a big 8 ft SSW swell, but the period is just 10 seconds. The energy is high (1066 (strong wave energy)). The wind is cross-shore, so there will be some bumps. This is pushing into expert-only territory. The afternoon cleans up with a cross-offshore breeze and the swell dropping to 5 ft.

Into the second week, Monday the 14th is for the big dogs. We’re looking at 8 ft SSE swell with an 11-second period. The wind goes offshore from the NE, and the energy is pumping hard – 1753 (very strong wave energy). This is strictly for experts. If you have the skills and the nerve, the afternoon session will be heavy.

Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th settle back into the 4 ft to 5 ft range with clean, offshore, or glassy winds. Nice, consistent smaller days for the rest of us.

From Thursday the 17th to Wednesday the 23rd, it fades out. The swell gets smaller, the winds get messy. There’s a long gap in quality. There is a little bump on Sunday the 20th with a 3 ft south swell and a very long 14-second period blowing offshore at 18 mph – that's a fresh breeze, so it'll be clean but small and the wind could be bumpy on the faces. After that, it really goes tiny and ordinary. This kind of dry spell is pretty normal here when the pattern shifts.

So, the call is: Friday the 11th is the king of the period for quality and power. Thursday the 10th is your glassy, relaxed session. The big Monday the 14th is for the brave. After that, you're on watch until the next pulse.

Rusty.
